I have 17 years of experience in adult mental health with concentration in mental health. I utilize a strengths perspective, changing perspectives on stale thinking, and focusing directly on the client as part of a larger system. I am eager to navigate through life's challenges and changes along with you. Your journey is individualized, as will be the approach to therapy with you.

My current availability is as follows: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. with my last session of the day beginning at 1:30 p.m., unless a prior arrangement has been made. There is some availability for evenings and weekends on a case by case basis.

Please be aware, I hold a clinical social work license and am only able to serve individuals who are physically located in the state of North Carolina at the time of his or her session. If you are outside of the state of North Carolina, I am unable to provide therapy at this time. If you travel frequently for work or pleasure and travel is outside of North Carolina, we are only able to communicate via text and not a live session by video, messaging or, audio.

Please feel free to ask any questions or express any concerns as you see fit! Thanks!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I loveeee talking to Carla! She gets me and it truly feels like everytime we talk she is listening, engaged and even asks me questions about past conversations. I have never had a therapist for this long before and I truly love my experience. It feels like I’m talking to family and I feel so much better after my calls with her. 10/10 would recommend <3

In my mind, everything is crowded and any tasks are impossible but Carla listens to me and processes it in a different way and lays out options she thinks would help while also letting me know i’m fully capable of doing it. So much respect for her. ♡
